Abstract: 

An SREs primary goal is to balance the technical and operational aspects of a system to drive reliability. Reliability and sustainability are very similar and SREs are uniquely positioned to balance a 3rd area: Environmental sustainability. This talk will detail these 3 areas, how it relates to SREs, as well as provide some tangible examples of what you can do in your team today to be a champion of Technical, Operational, and Environmental sustainability efforts.
